Indiana Jones Films Find New Streaming Home in the UK and Ireland

LONDON, UK – Four Indiana Jones films have found a new streaming home in the UK and Ireland after being removed from Disney+ last December. As of Friday, April 25, Steven Spielberg’s iconic films, including Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, are now available on Netflix.

Fans expressed confusion when the films were removed from Disney+, as they were originally created and owned by Lucasfilm, which is now owned by Disney. However, the distribution rights for these films are held by Paramount Pictures. The latest entry in the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, is a Disney-only venture and will likely remain on Disney+.

Harrison Ford reprises his role as the adventurous archaeologist in the celebrated series, which also remains available on Prime Video and Now TV for Sky subscribers. Netflix’s acquisition of these films has been met with enthusiasm from fans who missed having them available to stream.

The films are known for their blend of action, adventure, and humor, making them a mainstay of cinematic history. Raiders of the Lost Ark was a massive success upon its release in 1981, grossing over $300 million worldwide. The enduring popularity of the series has also led to various merchandise, video games, and books.

As fans gear up to revisit the classic adventures, Steven Spielberg has always believed in the power of storytelling. He once stated, “I was really the one who felt there was another story to tell.” Despite mixed reviews for the latest installment, he remains proud of the films he has created.

Indiana Jones films now streaming offer nostalgic delights suitable for every viewer’s weekend plan, from Friday movie nights to lazy Sunday mornings.
